Any way to change parry?

Can I change parry to be forward on the d-pad like it was in street fighter 3 third strike?

Buttons are customizable but not sure if you can assign a direction button to it.

parry doesn't really work the same way as in sf3.

No worries then

No, you can set it to another button but it doesn't work at all like Third Strike. It's more like an enhanced block than a true parry (unless you hit a Perfect Parry). Think Shield from Under Night In-Birth.

Fundamentally it can't.

It's a completely different parry from 3rd Strike. It's always going to be assigned to MP+MK, there's nothing you can change there. Since you can hold the buttons to keep the parry stance held it wouldn't really work at all assigned to pressing forward since that's already walking.

Parry in this game is identical to blocking in terms of frame advantage; the main differences being that while in parry you gain drive gauge for blocking attacks instead of having it chipped away, and parry will block in all directions automatically while also negating pushback. Throw beats parry just as it does blocking.

Perfect Parry, however, does give frame advantage but you have to have pressed parry within 2 frames of an attack connecting with you, so it's more like the parry you're thinking of. You get a punish and a combo but it's heavily scaled for damage so don't blow your supers on this if it isn't lethal.

SF3 parry gave frame advantage and required you to do the opposite of blocking and has no animation for missing a parry (you simply parry it or get hit).

So in summary if you could reassign it to forward you'd be not only gaining nothing but actually making the game a lot harder for yourself.

Dude's name is Drew Parrymore, he has an avatar of Ryu parrying, and his only concern is which button allows him to parry. I feel like he has a very singular goal in mind for SF6.

SF 3 you also had to parry high or low not both at the same time. They are very different honestly, and sf 6 parries need scaling and stuff to not be insanely broken
